Our Application Process

We understand that applying for graduate roles can be daunting and take up a lot of time, so we aim to keep our process as simple as possible and will keep you updated all the way through!

1. Apply online

We look for graduate with inquisitive and enthusastic minds from a range of degree backgrounds who are looking for a supportive and inclusive place to start their career!

As part of the application we'll ask you for your CV, academic transcript, and some questions so we can get to know you!

2. Screening

Once you've applied our recruitment and managers will review your application considering a range of different aspects.

3. Graduate Experience Morning + Online Assessment

Leave your phone on! Our recruitment team will be getting in touch to let you know you're through to the next stage, this will just be a short online assessment followed by a T+T Experience Morning in one of our offices! This morning will include an interview, a group activity, information session and lunch. This is a great opportunity for you to learn a bit more about us. In some locations we may have standard interviews instead of Experience Mornings.

4. Offers

If you receive an offer from us - congratulations! Our recruitment team will be giving you a call to give you all the details you need to know. If you were not successful after our Experience Morning, our team will still get in touch with you to give you some feedback. Once we have made selection decisions offers will be given in May.

Our Summer Internship Programme

Every year we take on about 30 interns throughout New Zealand from a range of different backgrounds, that are eager to learn and work working in a supportive, exceptional, and collaborative environment.

An internship at T+T provides you with a range of opportunities to put what you have learnt at university into practice as well as work with award-winning experts! Some of the highlights of our internships are:

• Our annual intern induction where you will meet the other interns and learn everything about T+T
• You'll be paired with a buddy who will help guide you through your time at T+T and show you the ropes (such as where to get the best coffee from!)
• The opportunity to take what you have learnt at university and put it into practice and work alongside experts in the field!

Similar to our graduate pathway, we only accept online applications for our internship programme.

After reviewing all the applications our recruitment team will get in touch with you to organise an interview.
